[QUOTE="Oxan, post: 848692, member: 97484"] The communication between the website and the service happens through port 4322. When they are on the same computer you shouldn't have to open the port. Some people just don't like to have one more process running, but there really isn't a big disadvantage... Yeah, in 0.5 there is just one user database left. If you don't have MP on the client, you don't need to install MPExtended there either, you can use WebMediaPortal by pointing your browser at [url]http://<server[/url] ip>:8080/. MPExtended should only be installed on computers where you have MP installed too. The stream failure happens because the service cannot find the file you are trying to stream. Any chance they are on a network drive? If so, you should configure the service to run as a user that has access to the network drive. Yeah, the idea is that you can enter it in that box, but that box doesn't work yet (see the big warning above it). Instead, you should configure the service to run as a different user account in Windows' Services dialog (start > Services > MPExtended Service > right-click properties > Logon As). You've to use a local user that has access to the NAS drives. [/QUOTE]
